| Question of the minute: if it ain't got a 12-cylinder, is it still an
| XJ12L?
no, it's a patheticly lame attempt at a classy car that misses by a
mile and a half. jeez i hate those things. a couple weeks ago sheila
and i were at a "cruisin' car show" in portland winning a trophy with
her '65 dart gt convertible and i saw an xk120 with a v8. AN XK120!
i about puked. the license was "fixdcat". i don't think the owner
meant neutered, but that's how i read it. we also say a tr4a and an
ah 3000 with v8's. :(
i think i'm gonna buy something completely tasteless like a camaro and
drop an xk engine in it just because somebody has to. i wonder how
hard that would be? should get quite a few laughs at the jag shows.
i wonder how it would be accepted at the musclecar shows?
